Why Lease Your New Grand Highlander?
Leasing puts you in a three-row SUV during the years it runs at its best, fully covered by Toyota's
factory warranty and on a predictable monthly payment. For a growing family, that means a vehicle sized
for car seats, sports gear, and road trips without the long-term resale questions that come with buying
outright. At the end of your term, you can step into the newest Grand Highlander with the latest
technology and safety features rather than holding a vehicle past its prime. It is a practical fit for
households that want room and reliability without a long-term commitment.

Performance and Powertrain
The 2026 Grand Highlander XLE is powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 265
horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque, sent through a Direct Shift 8-speed automatic transmission. That
torque arrives low in the rev range, which makes the Grand Highlander feel responsive when merging onto
Route 119 or climbing the grades common across the region. With a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds,
the XLE handles a small camper or boat for trips to Ohiopyle or the Laurel Highlands. EPA-estimated fuel
economy comes in at 21 city / 28 highway / 24 combined MPG, a reasonable return for a three-row SUV of
this size and capability.
Interior and Technology
The driver's seat in the Grand Highlander XLE is SofTex-trimmed, heated, and 10-way power adjustable
with lumbar support. The front passenger seat is 8-way power adjustable, also in SofTex. Second-row
captain's chairs and a 60/40 split-folding third row give the cabin flexibility for people or cargo,
with 57.9 cubic feet opening up when the third row is down and 97.5 behind the front seats with both
rows folded flat. A 12.3-in. Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen handles wireless Apple CarPlay® and
Android Auto™, Bluetooth®, and a SiriusXM three-month trial subscription. Qi-compatible
wireless charging and a Smart Key System with Push Button Start on all doors and the liftgate complete
the daily essentials across all three rows.
